They’ve assisted US law enforcement with phone access. An Apple whistleblower leaked that Liz Truss texted Anthony Blinken “it’s done” 1 minute after nordstream pipeline explosion. US congressional pressure on tech has definitely put a shift away from “don’t be evil” to “national security champions”.
They are legally obligated to deny any cooperation with US government. I don’t have proof that they provide access.

Uhhhh no, breaking encryption is exactly what they’re doing.

Apple stopped providing encrypted storage, but they didnt unencrypt the existing storage for governments to see.

Ah. That was indeed the way I read it but I could have misunderstood.

Apple has a history of being the good guys when it comes to issues of encryption. As a rule, they want to keep your privacy (and theirs). But they also want to continue operating in many countries, and when something like this happens, they may fight it in court, but if they lose, they won’t pull out of the region, they’ll find a way to comply.
In other words, this is a problem with national governments. They need to stop asking app and os developers to do unethical things, there’s enough pressure for them to do that already.
